Double butterfly spectrum for two interacting particles in the Harper model

Condensed Matter 2009-10-28 v1

Abstract

We study the effect of interparticle interaction UU on the spectrum of the Harper model and show that it leads to a pure-point component arising from the multifractal spectrum of non interacting problem. Our numerical studies allow to understand the global structure of the spectrum. Analytical approach developed permits to understand the origin of localized states in the limit of strong interaction UU and fine spectral structure for small UU.
